Apple TV advises that this method should work, however the certificates that we use to authenticate are valid with a timestamp but the Apple TV doesn’t have a system clock and so cannot verify the certificate chain.

This would work if the Apple TV was connected to a wired network on boot.

Blackberry

These devices should connect without difficulty. It is important to ensure that the WiFi settings are set to EAP method: PEAP, Authentication Method: MSCHAPv2

Chromebook

In your Chromebook settings, the Server Certificate will be set to ‘Default’ by default. This will cause the WiFi connection to fail. In order to connect a Chromebook using this method, you will need to select ‘Do Not Check’ from the dropdown list under the Wifi Settings > Server Certificate.

IOS and Mac OS X (Including MacBooks, iPads, iPhones)

When using this method with an iOS device, when connecting to the WiFi access point, the user will be presented with a login box to input their login credentials. When they click to continue they will be presented with a certificate validation popup indicating that the certificate is unverified. The user should click to accept this certificate.

It is not possible to use a Real World certificate with this feature.

Your iOS device can be installed with a specific connection profile, however this will result in additional verification steps so this is not recommended.

Windows 7

Due to a limitation in Microsoft functionality, a user will not be prompted to accept the Smoothwall Server Certificate and so will be unable to connect without additional client configuration.

In order to use this method with Windows 7 clients, the Certificate will need to be installed on the client machine.

When connecting to the WiFi access point, the user will be presented with a certificate validation popup indicating that the certificate is unverified. The user should click to accept this certificate.
